Singapore, 27 November 2024 – The Marina Bay Singapore Countdown, presented by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), returns for its 20th edition with a collection of festivities to usher in 2025.
This year’s Marina Bay Singapore Countdown is part of the ONE Countdown series of celebratory events islandwide organised to commemorate Singapore’s 60th birthday (SG60). Festivities have already begun at Marina Bay with illumi — one of the world’s largest light and multimedia show that has landed in Singapore for the first time. Visitors can look forward to more exciting activities setting the Bay abuzz in the weeks to come. These include performances by homegrown talents at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and a new series of Brightening Lives light projections on The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, featuring artworks by artists with disabilities. As a finale, Marina Bay’s spectacular annual fireworks display, designed by the team behind STAR ISLAND, will light up the sky around the Bay on New Year’s Eve to bid farewell to 2024.
Illuminating the Bay with artworks from artists with disabilities
Returning for another edition, the inspiring Brightening Lives light projections echo the values of SG60 with uplifting artworks that encourage the community to reflect on what it means to thrive in Singapore where everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has an opportunity to succeed. This year’s projections, presented in collaboration with community partner and local philanthropic organisation, The Majurity Trust, will showcase a series of original artworks created by artists with disabilities from ART:DIS, a local non-profit organisation which seeks to provide learning and livelihood opportunities for persons with disabilities through art.
From 26 to 31 December 2024, the facade of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore will come alive with a display of three newly commissioned artworks, in addition to five adapted artworks that speak of the spirit of a thriving nation. Running every 15 minutes from 8pm to 10:30pm nightly (until 10:45pm on 31 December 2024), the vivid artwork projections will collectively tell a story of tenacity, resilience and progress. The story presents the aspirations and hopes of childhood which evolve as each person takes flight into the world beyond, where they blossom after overcoming each new challenge as they journey through life. Emerging from this mosaic of diverse paths lighting up the hotel facade is a unified vision to build a Singapore where everyone can grow, contribute and thrive.
The three newly commissioned artworks will explore themes such as teamwork, diversity and overcoming mental health challenges. Piece by Piece, a joint creation by Brennan Tay, Crystal Tay and Sophie Valerio, brings together their diverse talents and aspirations through two contrasting motifs — building blocks and a vast galaxy — as metaphors for how each person’s unique talents can come together to open up unlimited possibilities with hard work and determination. In Flight by Amelia Tan depicts vibrant flocks of birds navigating different environments, representing the determination to grow and rise above hardships. Abraham Koh’s Thriving in Singapore, is a contemporary piece that portrays Singapore as a melting pot of people from diverse backgrounds, expressing his hope for a nation where people can unite and thrive.
Five other existing artworks by accomplished ART:DIS artists will also be adapted and projected alongside the commissioned pieces. For these artists and their families, showcasing their work at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown is a powerful affirmation of their talents and the value they bring. Some of these artworks have been featured as merchandise by ART:DIS to support artists with disabilities. Festive shoppers can contribute to this meaningful cause by purchasing memorabilia of this iconic celebration here.
Celebrate with exciting live performances and an enchanting multimedia experience and dazzling fireworks displays
Throughout December, Esplanade will bring back the ever-popular Come Together, a series of free performances at the Esplanade Concourse and the DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre at Esplanade. This will feature rising talents such as The Midnight Suns, Pure Fantasy, Roseville Deluxe and Daniel Sid.
At the ongoing illumi, visitors can enjoy one of the world’s largest light shows and embark on an illuminated outdoor journey through its nine uniquely themed worlds, each filled with unique displays and immersive installations. As the year draws to a close, illumi offers a special New Year’s Eve experience where visitors can picnic under the stars amidst dazzling light displays, creating a mesmerising backdrop for the countdown to midnight.
On 31 December 2024, the festivities will culminate in spectacular fireworks displays as revellers welcome 2025 with bursts of colours across the night sky. The specially choreographed fireworks displays, with a total duration of 30 minutes, will take place in four chapters starting from 11pm on New Year’s Eve, with the grand finale unfolding at midnight.
Ensuring an enjoyable and safe experience for all
For public safety and to facilitate crowd management, the number of people entering and leaving key areas around the Bay and its surrounding districts will be regulated on New Year’s Eve. These areas will be closed when their capacity limits are reached. Members of the public are advised to take public transport to Marina Bay. If necessary, certain exits of MRT stations in the Marina Bay area will be closed, and visitors will be diverted to other areas. Visitors are urged to follow crowd management and safety measures as well as instructions from security personnel on the ground, to help ensure a safe and enjoyable New Year’s countdown experience for everyone.
The public can visit the Crowd@MarinaBay map for timely updates on the crowd situation on New Year’s Eve and plan their routes and activities accordingly.

A 3-day celebration across Chinatown’s cultural landmarks, featuring Malaysia’s homegrown artists and musicians, cultural experiences, creative workshops and talks, heritage walks, and more!
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 12 November 2024 – In celebration of Chinatown’s vibrant heritage and cultural significance, a group of community leaders and local partners are spearheading the first ever KL Chinatown Festival from 29 November to 1 December 2024, celebrating everything that makes this area so special. The festival stretches across the entire Chinatown, involving not only cultural and architectural landmarks such as REXKL, Kwai Chai Hong and Lorong Panggung, along with a range of local businesses, cafes, art spaces, and more. By bringing together these participants, the festival creates an immersive celebration of arts, culture, and community that embodies the spirit of Chinatown.
Chinatown has long been a cornerstone of Kuala Lumpur’s cultural and historical landscape. Its vibrant streets are steeped in Malaysia’s rich heritage, where centuries-old temples, bustling markets, and traditional shop houses coexist with modern and contemporary spaces, including music venues, F&B outlets, and art galleries (for example RXPKL, Malaysia’s largest immersive digital art gallery and more). This unique blend of the old and new has shaped Chinatown’s distinctive character, making it not only a cultural treasure but also a symbol of community, creativity, and resilience.
Building on the success of REXKL’s 5th anniversary celebrations and mini-festival REXFEST in 2023, the KL Chinatown Festival has expanded in both scale and ambition. This 3-day cultural takeover combines old-world charm with modern creativity, featuring diverse music and cultural performances, art installations, and cultural experiences. Anchored in the theme “Together Gather”, the festival brings together local communities and creatives to celebrate Chinatown, fostering inclusivity and engagement as they collectively bring KL Chinatown Festival to life.
“This festival was established to bring together a diverse mix of stakeholders, from long standing businesses to contemporary spaces, all united by a shared vision for Chinatown’s future. This festival is just the first step in our commitment to keeping Chinatown alive and vibrant, not just during the festival but through year-long activities that engage the community. By working hand-in-hand with local partners, we want to foster a sense of belonging and creativity that ensures a lasting positive impact within Chinatown” said Shin Chang, co-founder of KL Chinatown Festival.
In partnership with local businesses and vendors in Chinatown, this collaboration highlights the vibrant diversity of Malaysian culture and local talent. This year, Connor’s Stout Porter takes centre stage in the festival’s music pillar, supporting local musical talents with performances that showcase the fusion of traditional and modern influences that define Chinatown’s cultural landscape. Connor’s Stout Porter, a multi-award-winning stout recognised with Gold awards from Monde Selection (2023, 2024) and the World Beer Awards (2023), exemplifies top-notch quality. This commitment to craftsmanship aligns seamlessly with the KL Chinatown Festival, a vibrant celebration of Malaysia’s cultural vibes through music, creativity, and cultural exchange. Throughout the festival, festival-goers can enjoy exciting music performances, including collaborations with local talents, bringing together diverse musical influences and celebrating Malaysia’s creative spirit.
“We aim to attract 10,000 attendees for this year’s KL Chinatown Festival, celebrating Malaysians from all walks of life while showcasing the unique cultural fusion that defines Chinatown. By embracing local talent and creativity, the festival also enhances our cultural landscape and supports the local economy. Expect an exciting lineup of local artists, including local indie artists such babychair, Tasneem, Straw Lim, and Colbie Ong, along with DJ/producer Shelhiel, Core Values and many more. Cultural performances such as multi-cultural percussion showcases, Chinese opera, and engaging activities such as the KL Heritage Walk is also part of our diverse program festival” said Lim Kok Kean, Co-Founder and Festival Director of KL Chinatown Festival.
The KL Chinatown Festival isn’t just about one district; it’s part of a broader mission to transform notables landmarks such as REXKL, Jalan Sultan, Lorong Panggung, and Kwai Chai Hong into vibrant cultural destinations, creating a positive ripple effect that will energise both Chinatown and the surrounding downtown KL areas. This festival sets the stage for future editions, with this being just the first step. Beyond Chinatown, beyond KL – this is about driving Malaysia’s cultural footprint onto the world stage, turning KL into a cultural tourism destination where commerce meets creativity.
